Meghan Markle is breaking down Big Fruitcake’s stranglehold on wedding cakes
March 20, 2018
I’m generally more of a chocolate and/or cookies person, but sometimes my sweet tooth takes me to CAKE. There are just some days when I’m hankering for a simple white-cake cupcake, or a really small sheetcake (damn, I need to pick up a cake later today). Again, I don’t really have fancy tastes – I’m going to enjoy a really expensive cake as much as I will enjoy a cheap grocery store cake. But it’s not my wedding and I’m not invited to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding. It turns out, Harry and Meg aren’t doing the British-traditional fruitcake at their wedding. They’re going to do a lemon elderflower cake instead.
Meghan Markle is already breaking down the Establishment! THE FRUITCAKE ESTABLISHMENT. Big Fruitcake is going to get their knickers in a twist about that one. How dare this daft Yank come across the pond and deny the Fruitcake?!? Also: William and Kate had a traditional fruitcake for their wedding cake, but William also had a groom’s cake which was chocolate-biscuit. I wonder what Harry’s groom’s cake will be? And does anyone in Great Britain just do a simple white-cake, white-icing cake at weddings or is it always fruitcake? I’m telling you, The UK Fruitcake Industrial Complex is not going to be happy.
